Chapter 12: The Savage Lands
After the ten-day march, Longxi finally arrived, and asked Pang De and Gao Shun to take thousands of farmers to a specially built military camp to settle down, while Ma Heng followed Ma Teng into the county government, received official uniforms, and also met with colleagues. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Han Dynasty promoted the system of filial piety and honesty, and Ma Heng was also elected as the county lieutenant of Longxi County and became a member of the Han officialdom. And the county order of Longxi County is naturally Ma Teng.
In the evening, Ma Heng prepared a generous gift and entered the inner house to meet his aunt, and stayed in the inner house for a meal, and also successfully met his second brother, Ma Chao, a pink and tender little Zhengtai, who is really good-looking, although he is only eight years old, he has a handsome mold. In contrast, the third brother Ma Tie is much more ordinary.
However, the rules in the second uncle's house are very strict, and the emphasis is on food without saying a word, so after a dull meal, without saying a word, Ma Heng left and returned to the barracks.
Early in the morning of the second day, looking at the noisy scene outside, Ma Heng showed a smile. Then he recruited Pang De and Gao Shun.
"Ling Ming, from today onwards, you will recruit talents, the number of people is unlimited, and train a fine soldier for this son. ”
Pound, who couldn't hide his excitement, promised loudly.
Ma Heng turned his head to look at Gao Shun, and then said with a smile: "These five hundred people are really noisy, I wonder if Brother Gao is interested in taking care of his brother?"
Gao Shun suddenly looked at Ma Heng in surprise, and there was inevitably a trace of excitement in disbelief, how could the young man not dream of taking Wu Hook. But he has never led a soldier, and he is very familiar with the military books left by his ancestors, and his cultivation is far from Ma Heng's guards, and he never expected that Ma Heng would be entrusted with a heavy task.
After a long time, the young man said with a lot of confidence: "Then try so-and-so." ”
On the same day, Pang De took forty guards out of the camp to recruit, Longxi is backed by the wilderness, every year there are countless heroes and heroes into the hunt, naturally there is no shortage of brave people, and Ma Heng took several guards and Gao Shun to the military platform, looking at the hundreds of people who were making noise below, and smiled even more.
"Princesses. Ma Heng's words sounded, and the appeal was still a little bit, and the audience slowly quieted down.
"Everyone is gathered here today, in order to improve the cultivation of martial arts, or for the sake of all kinds of rare beasts in this wild place, since they are here, they will naturally have to gain something, and everyone will give me a thin face, and I naturally can't treat everyone lightly, and lift it up. ”
Then he saw the two guards bring up two chests, and when the chests were opened, they were all ingots of gold.
Looking at the people who were attracted by the gold, Ma Heng seemed to raise his voice a little, "Everyone has a share today, and there is also a monthly income to receive, as long as everyone serves me for three years according to the contract, and within three years, all the seizures will be confiscated and half will be owned." I wonder what everyone thinks?"
The people who have been mentally prepared for a long time are naturally everyone responds. Of course, it is not known how many people can do what they are told when they are in danger or when the value of the seized things is too great, but everyone is still quite happy to meet a generous lord at the moment.
"The snake can't be without a head, I know that martial arts can't convince people, and morality can't convince the public, so I recommend Gao Shun as the head of our battalion!"
Immediately, most of the students of the academy responded, Gao Shun, innocent, majestic, and had defeated Ma Heng, so most of the students were still convinced, and although the heroic people were not necessarily convinced of this young man, no one openly objected.
Then naturally, everyone was happy to issue a reward, and Ma Heng naturally did not fake others, and he personally distributed them.
After noon, after having lunch with everyone, Ma Heng returned to his private room to rest, and there was already a young man in a Confucian robe waiting for a long time, which was a number of staff members sent by Ma Ben. and the three thousand men shall be ruled by them.
"Young master, three thousand people have been sent to repair the fort, and it will be completed in about three months. Then the second master sent someone to send a batch of meat, which was about enough for five hundred people to eat for about a month. Then the people who came said that there was no more after that. ”
Ma Heng nodded and said yes, it seems that Ma Teng is ready to stand by and watch himself toss, of course, this may not be a good thing. As long as you don't mix it deliberately.
Let the staff also go and tell Gao Shun about it by the way.
It's natural for farmers not to eat demon beast meat, but these more than 500 awakened people can't, and a month later, all of this depends on their own self-reliance, and this can be seen whether Gao Shun can do it or not, after all, the previous life is a matter of the previous life, for the appointment of Gao Shun as the head of these more than 500 people, Ma Heng is also quite worried, you must know that although these 500 people are now low in force, but the potential is infinite.
Since then, Ma Heng has also trained with everyone in the camp with peace of mind, and practiced alone at night. Summoning Martha once in a while.
Seven days later, one did not train the army, and the other did not enforce discipline, except that everyone was not allowed to drink, and they were not allowed to leave the barracks without a military order, but Gao Shun, who taught everyone the basic hunting points and how to survive in the wild, waved his big hand, and let more than 500 people carry their own rations for three days and enter the wilderness.
Hurry all the way and enter thirty miles, of course, not to mention demon beasts along the way, ordinary beasts are also difficult to find, after all, there are almost all killed on the edge of this wild land.
When he found a pond, Gao Shun ordered to set up camp, and did not urge the lazy people, and when everyone was set up, the sun was about to set. So he asked everyone to bury the pot and make rice, and as soon as it was done, it was suddenly night.
Clapping his hands, Gao Shun, who attracted everyone's attention, said unhurriedly as usual: "Okay, let's go and run for your lives, so many people are blatantly rushing into the wilderness, and the angry demon will come to tear us apart." Half a month later, we are still gathering here. Of course, don't try to run back. I have asked these ten guards to hunt within thirty miles of us, and they have met them, and there is no mercy for killing!" After saying that, Gao Shun didn't care about the stunned people, and rushed away with the package on his back, and the ten guards also quickly evacuated.
Seeing this situation, Ma Heng, who was like an ordinary small soldier on the side, also ran away in an instant. Immediately, everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Three days later, Ma Heng dived back to the small pond again, and Ma Heng was already covered in mud. According to Gao Shun, this can effectively cover his breath, and the footsteps are almost habitually inaudible, but even so, Ma Heng has not captured a prey in three days, and the demon beasts in this wild place seem to have become fine, and they will run fast with a little wind and grass hundreds of meters away, of course, there are those who do not run, but run after you. Even if it is like Ma Heng's cultivation, he is like a weak chicken in this wild place, and there are really not many monsters who win the fight. Of course, if Ma Heng's cultivation in the Perfection Realm of Forging Body could enter the realm of no one in this wild land, then it would have already been opened up by human beings and turned into its own territory suitable for human habitation. And this can also be seen that Ma Teng, who leads a thousand private soldiers, can not only be self-sufficient, but also continuously deliver all kinds of demon beasts to the Ma family.
When I returned to the small pond, I saw a mess and the corpses of dozens of people on the ground, of course, most of the corpses had been eaten and had long been unrecognizable.
"Shhhh In a dense bush, a soft cry came out, and then three or four people came out and looked at Ma Heng.
Ma Heng nodded, it seemed that there were not many people who wanted to go together, and then he jumped on a huge tree and hidden.
The breath of the big demon has gone away, so these corpses that have been eaten most of them will naturally attract other demon beasts to come, and they must be far weaker than the demon beasts of the big demon, otherwise they will not be interested in coming here to eat the carrion corpses, and they are afraid that they will come to a group, so everyone also has a tacit understanding and decided to join forces to ambush.
The breath is restrained, and the small pond is quiet again.
Looking at the corpses on the ground that were used as bait, you must know that they were all your colleagues a few days ago. Ma Heng has a deep understanding of the cruelty of this world, and now he has no doubt about the authenticity of using human flesh as military food, they are all a group of ruthless people who are extremely ruthless to themselves and others.
An hour passed quickly, and everyone's goal finally appeared, a group of red wolves, said to be wolves, with the size of a Siberian tiger in the previous life, one, two, three... There were ten heads in total, and they were approaching the corpse with vigilance.
Everyone waited with bated breath, and finally, about two or three red wolves slowly approached the corpse one after another.
Wow, I saw a young man rushing towards the wolves with a knife with a sad and angry face. Suddenly, two people rushed out after him.
The wolves were suddenly startled, and immediately scattered, a little far away from the end, the two or three red wolves who had been on guard for a long time deftly avoided the sneak attack of the three people, and the three who failed to sneak attack hurriedly confronted the wolves with knives.
Seeing that there were only three people, the scattered wolves slowly surrounded the three of them, facing the three people, the bloodshot pupils burned with bloodthirsty light, and a low howl of "Yo Yo" came out of the chest, and Bai Sensen's sharp wolf teeth seemed to be terrifying.
Roar, one of the largest wolves roared, and the wolves immediately pounced on the three of them like sharp arrows.
Swinging the knife and constantly blocking the block, the three of them suddenly fell into a precarious realm, and the situation was about to erupt.
This is now! Ma Heng and the other two rushed towards several red wolves that attacked the three of them almost at the same time, revealing their soft bellies.
Three sword lights flashed, and the three red wolves who couldn't dodge were suddenly disemboweled, fell to the spot, and saw that they were not alive.
Take advantage of the enemy's illness to kill the enemy. Almost completely subconscious, the converging six people formed a formation, using Ma Heng and the three of them as arrows to kill the slightly panicked wolves.
After a while, the battle finally ended, Ma Heng and the others, who paid the price of one injury, successfully left seven red wolves, quickly buried the bodies of those comrades, and the six of them quickly left the pond with the red wolf corpses. Wolves are very vengeful animals, and those lone wolves that flee are a hidden danger after all.
After leaving the pond, everyone looked for a place, skinned and deboned the wolf corpse, washed it, dug a hole in a tree, and put the wolf corpse inside to bake it over a charcoal fire.
The six people who finally had a full meal hit it off, and naturally decided to join forces to act together, and it was really difficult for a single person to move an inch in this wild place. And in the past half a month, I naturally awakened step by step the combined attack technique taught by the elders in the family or the academy in my memory. The rest of the hundreds of people are almost all the same, each walking together, under the threat of life, driven by hunger, in just half a month, everyone has grown up rapidly, especially in a small area of cooperation with each other. You must know that even if it is hundreds of thousands of troops, they are all composed of soldiers and soldiers.
